Highwater Rooftop is a rooftop bar and lounge at 120 Water Street in Manhattan's Financial District, and it hosts private events for 20 to 200 guests. With enclosed lounges, open-air terraces and a cocktail-focused bar, it's a strong pick for company happy hours, holiday parties and birthdays downtown.


Here's what to know about the spaces, drinks and a happy hour package that's only available through RestauRent.


Why Highwater Rooftop Works for Group Events

Highwater gives you both indoor and outdoor space on the same rooftop, which takes some of the weather worry out of planning. The enclosed rooms stay comfortable year-round, and the terraces have outdoor heating for cooler nights.


The location is easy for downtown offices. It's a short walk from Wall Street and the South Street Seaport, so it works well for after-work events and client entertaining.


The Rooftop Spaces

Highwater mixes a few different looks, so you can pick the setting that fits your group:

  • A red-walled lounge with velvet curtains, chandeliers and seating along the windows

  • A black-and-gold lounge with marble walls, tufted leather banquettes and a full bar

  • Open-air terraces with lounge furniture, high-top tables and views of the surrounding towers


You can take over the whole rooftop with a full buyout, or reserve one space for a smaller private dining, semi-private or group dining event. Layouts, timelines and food and beverage packages are tailored to each event, and extended hours are available for private events.


Food and Drinks

Highwater is a cocktail bar first, with an upscale, modern feel. Events run on the venue's food and beverage packages, and outside food and drink aren't allowed. AV equipment is available for toasts, presentations and playlists.


The RestauRent-Exclusive Happy Hour Package

Highwater offers a happy hour package you can only book through RestauRent, for groups of 8 to 111 guests:

  • $9 specialty cocktails, including espresso martinis, mojitos, Moscow mules, Aperol spritzes, margaritas, martinis and prosecco

  • $12 bites, including empanadas, beef sliders, truffle mac and cheese balls, margherita flatbread, chicken wings and quesadillas

  • Available Monday through Wednesday from 5 to 10 p.m., and Thursday and Friday from 5 to 8 p.m.


It's an easy way to plan a team outing, birthday or casual celebration without committing to a full buyout.

  • Holiday parties
